Business technology professionals looking to unlock business value that big data provides now have a new resource called InformationWeek's Big Data, Big Decisions.
Enterprises are grappling with the challenge of how to manage and leverage vast amounts of data from an ever-expanding array of sources, including mobile customers, location-aware applications, sensors and social media. According to a recent report from Capgemini North America, Big data promises to improve the operational efficiency by as much as 26 percent. Gleaning big insights from big data is a big business opportunity.
InformationWeek's Big Data, Big Decisions examines the opportunities and technology choices companies have when it comes to analysing, visualising and extracting value from massive, sometimes unstructured data sets – often in real time.
Paul Travis was named Editor of InformationWeek's Big Data, Big Decisions special editorial series. Additional contributors include Doug Henschen, Art Wittmann, Rob Preston, Fritz Nelson, Jeff Bertolucci, Kevin Fogarty and Nicole Lewis.
